Lets Talk Review
      I have never watched or seen any of Rukky Sanda's movie because everyone I know don't like her acting or movies

so I automatically just  rukky- myself away from any of her movies until yesterday and ....lets just say different strokes for different folks. I
sat down yesterday to watch this movie and  it was super exciting to watch.
      The romantic movie posed a very known and concluded question about opposite sex being best of friends...with no string attached. The recently
graduated students met briefly while Lauren's friend Elizabeth asked her boyfriend Tyron to drop Lauren off in Lagos and along their trip to Lagos they hated each other because Lauren is "my body is the temple of God kind of woman" while Tyron is 'eat any fruit kind of man. Fast forward to few years later, they met again and became best of friends.
       Personally, I love this movie; maybe because am hopeless romantic person or its just me. The direction and location of the movie was perfect, the story line was a cliche; its all borrowed from Hollywood but who cares if it was done well (more than friends was done well). The chemistry between Lauren and Tyron is simply out of this world, they fit perfectly like they really are friends; I kept smiling as I watched this two goof around. Tyron and Lauren bond over everything, at some point they were both single and both wallowing together on valentine's day and it was delighting.

      However, there were minimal glitches that would ultimately make Rukky Sanda production and team,a team to reckon with. Rukky Sanda as an actress needs to turn the notch down just a little bit when she's on screen so she wont come off as trying too hard, everything she did in the first scene while in the car with the two lovers was just not necessary, she should have just kept quite and then address whatever she has to say with her friend, later. There was also a scene when Lauren could not remember her friends name after few years but remembered Tyron; instead she should talk about not haven't heard from Elizabeth for years and just move one. I love, John Dumelo's role in this movie, I totally see him in a new light now ( fantastic performance). In addition, simple English is fine, it reduces the grammatical error ( then again Oyinbo no bi our first language no matter what the books/history say)
 At some point,the movie was dragged because the writer emphasizes too much on the relationship between Tyron and Lauren.
      Furthermore, the writer could have been more creative with the supermarket scene following the events after that, the supermarket should have been the perfect place for the sparks between the two friends to EXPLODE with a pretend kiss when one of the friends ran into an ex.
      Overall, there's nothing original in it but for a Nolloywood grade it was pretty darn good.
